all of that.Now as an actual movie, it's really good at least better than expected . The trailers were all "watch the jackass guys make a crazy amusement park based on Action Park," and it was SO much more than that. First off, it's all set as a grandfather telling his granddaughter a story of her mom when she was younger something that my grandparents did a lot when I was younger, and it was really heartwarming in that regard . Next, the movie isn't just "dude, lets make a crazy amusement park," it's "I made a little amusement park for the locals, just living the American dream, and trying to maintain it when a rival park challenges it," a true "American dream" story. Last and most important, DC the main character isn't doing all this because he just wants to be a capitalist, he does it because he made a family with the employees and doesn't want to lose that, along with trying to include his daughter in all the craziness, and it's not all "jackass guys getting hurt and getting right up again" kinds of craziness.It's not a movie for everyone, I'll admit that, but if you liked Adventureland you'll probably like Action Park.

rudderless.Many characters weren't well developed in the story, but if there's a reason why I give it an 8 instead of a 6 is Eleanor Worthington-Cox. She's too talented for a film like this, yet when the script allowed she really pulled it off.Just go and see it and laugh.
